N. w. BRANNON THREAD CUTTING TEMPLE Filed June 19, 1825 ihven'for. NemWiflium Brannon byMMI/M AiTya with a fixed cutter member to effect thesevering action of the fillin end and. it is to this fixed cutter membert at the present invention more particularly relates. very desirablethat the fixed cutter member shall be maintained positively in therequired position ingthe temple head in order that it may cooperateeifectively with the movable cutter member.

The temple is constantly subjectednot only to the general shock and jarof the loom operation, but to the constant, repeated blows of the lay,which not only strikes against the heel 11 of the movable cutter memberto effect the cutting action, but also at each beat-up, strikesagainstthe heel 17' depending from; the temple shank and moves the entiretemple forwardly. v

In the preferred form of this invention,

the fixed cutter member is an integral, one-'v cutting blade so as topresent'the horizontal shoulder 21. At its upper-end the cutting bl'ade18, is provided with a shank '22 and extending forwardly opposite thecut- 7 tingedge-and having its freeend 23 lying in a plane normal to thecuttingblade 18 and offsetlaterally therefrom and provided withtheaperture 24. l r v The pod' 3 of the templeat its rearward portionbeneath the slot 9 is provided with arecess 25 fitting the tongue-20. .gH

The fixed cutter blade is so; shaped and proportioned that, when it isassembled, the tongue 20; fits in the recess 25, theblade portion- 18"stands verticallyin the'rear end of the slot 9 with its cutting edges inproper position to V cooperate 'with. the 1 blades 12 of the movablecutter member, the shank;22 extends-alongthe top of theslot 9 out of theway of the path ofthe movable. cutter member,. and the free end 23v ofthe shank is seated in the joint between the cap and, the pod in suchapositiongthatthe' aperture 24- receives the screw 7 When the screw 7and lock nut 8 are set up, thefixed' cutter member is thereforeclamped'rigidly in place and is positivelyfprevented from working looseunder any conditions and is main-.
